Background and Objectives : Laryngeal contact granuloma is benign inflammatory disease induced by excessive mechanical contact of larynx such as endotracheal intubation, voice abuse, laryngeal microsurgery as well as laryngopharygeal reflux. Because it is caused by various risk factors, multiple treatment modalities are required. The purpose of study is to evaluate treatment effect of topical steroid through nasal cavity in contact granuloma. Materials and Method : Fifty-two patients were enrolled in this study with exception of intubation granuloma. Patients were classified with four groups (Proton pump inhibitor (PPI), Nasal steroid spray (SPR), PPI+SPR, Observation) according to treatment modality. Results : Patients who treated with PPI (Odds ratio 2.45, p=0.03) and combination of PPI and SPR (Odds ratio 2.88, p<0.01) had significantly better response than patients who not treated with medical therapy. Conclusion : Combination therapy of nasal steroid spray and PPI is effective for contact granuloma of larynx and considered as a treatment of choice rather than PPI only treatment.

The top-to-bottom compression strength of corrugated board box is the most important mode of loading during it's no, and it depends largely on the edgewise compression strength of the corrugated board in the cross-machine direction and to a considerable extent on the flexural stiffness in both principal directions (CD; cross-machine direction, MD; machine direction) of the corrugated board. Corrugated board is a sandwich structure with an orthotropic property. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the principal design parameters for board combination of corrugated board from the viewpoint of bending strength through the finite element analysis [FEA] fur the various corrugated board. In general, the flexural stiffness [FS] in the MD was 2-3 times larger than that in the CD, and the effect of liner for the FS of corrugated board was much bigger than that of corrugating medium. The flexural stiffness index [FSI] was high when the stiffness of liner was in the order of inner, outer, and middle liner in double-wall corrugated board [DW], and the effect of the stiffness arrangement or itself reinforcement of corrugating medium on the FSI was not high. In single-wall corrugated board [SW] with DW. the variation of FSI with itself stiffness reinforcement of liner was much bigger than that with stiffness arrangement of liner. The highest FSI was at the ratio of about 2:1:2 for basis weight distribution of outer, middle, and inner liner if the stiffness of liner and total basis weight of corrugated board were equal in DW Secondarily. basis weight was in the order of inner, outer, and middle liner. However, the variation of FSI with basis weight distribution between liner and corrugating medium was much bigger than that with itself basis weight distribution ratio of liner and corrugating medium respectively in both DW and SW. md the FSI was high as more total basis weight was divided into liner. These phenomena fur board combination of corrugated board based on the FEA were well verified by experimental investigation.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of combined quantitative analysis of thyroid blood flow and static imaging data in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Method: Thyroid blood flow and static imaging were performed in 165 patients with thyroid nodules. Patients were divided into a benign thyroid nodule group (BTN, n=135) and a malignant thyroid nodule group (MTN, n=30) based on the results of post-surgical pathologic examination. Carotid artery thyroid transit times (CTTT), perfusion ratio of thyroid nodule blood/thyroid blood (TNB/TB), and perfusion ratio of thyroid nodule blood/carotid artery blood (TNB/CAB) were measured using thyroid blood flow imaging. The ratios between thyroid nodule and ipsilateral submandibular gland (TN/SG) and thyroid nodule and normal thyroid tissue (TN/T) were measured from thyroid static imaging. The differences between the BTN and MTN groups were compared. Results: 1) CTTT was markedly lower in the MTN group than the BTN group, the difference being statistically significant. 2) TNB/TB and TNB/CAB were both significantly higher in MTN than BTN groups. 3) TN/T was significantly lower in MTN group than BTN group. 4) TN/SG was lower in MTN group than BTN group, but the difference was not statistically significant. 5) Using the combination of CTTT and TN/T, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 93.1%, 95.3% and 94.9% respectively for the diagnosis of MTN. Using the combination of CTTT, TNB/TB and TN/T, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy changed to 89.7%, 100%, and 98.1% respectively. 6) Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between TN/T and TNB/TB (r=-0.384, P=0.036) and TNB/CAB (r=-0.466, P=0.009) in the MTN group. Conclusion: The combination of quantitative markers from thyroid blood flow and thyroid static imaging had high specificity and accuracy in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, thus providing an important imaging diagnostic approach.

This study was performed to develop a prototype continuous flow ginseng dryer with which better product quality and lower drying energy consumption could be achieved compared with conventional ginseng dryers. A dryer having both far infrared ray (IR) and heated-air as the drying energy sources was designed and fabricated . Dryer performance was studied by examining energy efficiencies and dryer performance evaluation indices (DPEI) during the drying tests of medium-sized four year ginseng roots with IR radiating plate temperature and drying air temperature in the range of 80-12$0^{\circ}C$ and 22-5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The DPEI of IR /heated -air combined drying was 1/3 of that of the conventional heated-air drying when ginseng were dried to the same final moisture ratio. When ginsengs were dried for 12 hours in the prototype IR/heated-air combination dryer, a linear relationship was found to exist between final moisture ratio and ginseng temperature. As the drying progressed, drying air temperature inside the dryer was nearly constant but ginseng temperature was drastically increased during the first two hours and gradually increased thereafter until the end of drying. With the prototype Ir/heated-air combination dryer, the drying rate changed little but the energy efficiency increased proportionally when the amount of ginseng to be dried increased. Drying capacity, energy efficiency, and DPEI of the prototype IR/heated-air combination ginseng dryer were estimated to 1.500 roots, 65% and 3.800kJ/kg-water , respectively.

본 연구에서는 CFSTR(Continuous-flow Stirred-Tank Reactor) 형식의 반응조에 담체가 채워진 호기-혐기조합 공법에 따른 질산화 및 탈질화에 관한 효율의 증대와 유입수 및 침전조 상등액의 유량대비를 조절 하므로써 질소제거의 효율 증대에 관한 방법을 모색하고자 하였다. 탈질조 내의 탈질효율에 비례하여 포기 반응조 내의 질산성 질소 농도를 산출하고자 유입수와 침전조 내에서의 상등액을 탈질조로 반송하여 유입하고 유입수와 반송되는 침전조 상등액 유입의 유량대비를 통하여 최종적으로 반응조에 대한 질소제거의 효율을 파악하고자 하였다. 적절한 유량대비를 이용하였을 때 탈질조 내의 필요한 탄소원의 공급이 유입수로 통해 이루어지는 것으로 판단되어지며, 외부탄소원의 주입 없이 유입수 만으로도 완벽하게 탈질이 이루어지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 하지만 유입수와 침전조 상등액의 유량대비에서 침전조 상등액의 유량비가 커지면 커질수록 유입수내의 탄소원의 유입이 줄어들기 때문에 이에 대한 탄소원의 농도에 대한 산정이 중요하다고 생각된다.

알루미나 파우더는 산업용으로 널리 사용되는 소재 중 하나이지만 파우더 패킹 상태에 따라 제품의 강도가 변하는 문제점이 있다. 위 문제해결을 위하여 입자 패킹효율을 높이려는 많은 선행연구들이 수행되었지만, 기존 연구는 밀리미터 스케일의 입자의 충진 특성을 분석한 것이 대부분이므로 마이크로미터 스케일과 물리적 특성이 달라, 그 선행연구 결과를 토대로 마이크로미터 스케일에 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 마이크로미터 스케일의 알루미나 파우더를 이용하여 충진률을 높이기 위하여 통계적방법을 이용하여 3단계 실험을 수행하였다. 먼저, 혼합물시험계획법을 이용하여 충진율이 높은 크기 조합 및 혼합 비율을 선정하였으며, 진동 실험장치에서 가진 주파수 변경에 따른 충진 높이 변화를 분석하여 적정 가진 주파수를 선정하였다. 마지막으로 앞서 언급한 실험 결과값을 토대로 알루미나 파우더 충진율 시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 최대 높이 변화량은 충진 크기조합 선정을 위해 수행한 최초의 실험 결과 최댓값보다 42% 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 W/B $30\%$의 고성능 콘크리트에서 팽창재와 수축저감제 병용 사용에 따른 콘크리트의 기초적 특성 및 수축특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험결과, 고성능 콘크리트의 유동성은 팽창재와 수축저감제를 단독사용보다 병용사용일 때 더 크게 저하하여 고성능 감수제의 사용량이 증가되었고, 공기량은 증가하여 AE제의 사용량이 감소되었다. 또한, 압축강도는 팽창재량의 혼입률 $5.0\%$를 사용한 경우가 최대가 되고, 수축저감제는 사용량 증가에 따라 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 고성능콘크리트의 건조수축 및 자기수축을 저감시키기 위해서는 팽창재와 수축저감제를 혼합하여 사용할 때 가장 양호한 결과가 나타났다. 따라서 유동성, 강도 및 수축특성을 종합적으로 고려한 결과, 본 연구실험 조건에서는 팽창재 $5.0\%$, 수축저감제 $1.0\%$의 조합이 최적배합으로 분석되었다.
